INT_MAX checks are there since nr_pages, nthreads and repeats are stored
as int.
But yes I can keep the parameters which are not there in the ioctl ABI
to be unsigned long, so these checks won't be required there.

ULONG_MAX / MB prevents size *= MB from overflowing. SIZE_MAX /
sizeof(ptread_t) prevents thread array allocation size from overflowing.
